I have not had the pleasure of using a lot of really good
keyboards. My HHL2 (identical to yours) fits my hands better than
any other that I have used.
Someday, I'd like to spend even more money and get a mechanical
keyboard even better than HHL2. Recommedations are welcome.
I've almost always worked from home with pretty good control over
my schedule and take frequent breaks. My wife is a physical
therapist and raises hell with me if I spend more than two hours
on the keyboard.
